Notes

Regarding Tenacity:

• If a weapon action misses, using Tenacity will not trigger its effects.
• Despite being a greatclub,  Rat Bat does not provide Tenacity.
• As Tenacity deals weapon damage, even if an attack misses, it can trigger many on-hit effects from equipment.
  • Effects like weapon coatings,  Gloves of Power,  Callous Glow Ring, and any infusion from  Ring of Elemental Infusion.
  •  Doom Hammer and  The Sacred Star on-hit effects will be triggered. This is particularly important when you need to apply a condition consistently, like  Bone Chilled to a powerful undead or fast-healing enemy.
  •  Flail of Ages can trigger its effect via Tenacity when boosted by  Acid Infusion,  Cold Infusion, or  Fire Infusion.

Bugs

Regarding Tenacity:

• When dual wielding a flail or morningstar with a non-Tenacity weapon using the  Dual Wielder feat, Tenacity can be triggered by missing an attack with the non-Tenacity weapon. The damage will always be ⁠Bludgeoning, no matter the weapon used.
  • Some non-Tenacity weapons can trigger their on-hit effects via Tenacity as well, such as the  Ritual Dagger and  Loviatar's Scourge.
• As  Horde Breaker (Melee) rolls invisible, zero-damage weapon attacks against all enemies in the Horde Breaker area of effect, Tenacity can be prompted to trigger against them even if the first attack hits. It is therefore possible to score 2 hits in one attack: the full attack against the original Horde Breaker target and a Tenacity hit against another target.
